Actually, I think the point is that it DOES looks like something computers could draw 20 years ago. Ever hear of "so bad, it's good?"
Kintaro:
I think the boot screen is awesome.
I suggest you make sure it has perl, anything without perl really sucks. Everything uses perl, perl is awesome. Hell, even most minimal distro's have perl. Except those single floppy distros.
What is your aim with flying chair?
themacuser:
The flying chair is to annoy Steve Ballmer.
The aim is to have a small, light, easy to modify distro that looks l33t, and can be used on stupid people's windows machines :P (it's a livecd)
OOps, I removed perl when I got rid of irssi... :S
I'll put it back then, and kill X-Chat.
As for pakage managment, it uses the slax managment system for livecds. Download a slackware tgz file, run tgz2mo on it, and then remaster the CD with that package in the main, packages or optional directory. Very simple.
Yet another edit:

Yeah, stupid isolinux only gives us 16 colours. Should i not use pixel shading on the glass? Would that make it look better? We can only have 16 colours, but we can have any 16 in the world we want.
Kintaro:
If the biggest worry for this distro is the boot screen, I can already see it is going knowhere.

The Windows 3.x bootscreens used only 16 colours and they looked much better than this.
Apart from the crap boot screen what's differant about this distro? What separates it from the 1000s of other distros out there?
